Product Description

The SS2.1 Switcher/Router passively switches or routes a variety of electrical signals to a single destination. The SS2.1 Switcher/Router selects two inputs to a single output. The SS2.1 is also equipped with non-volatile memory allowing the restoration of the last selected channel after a power outage, if desired. The SS2.1 Switcher/Router provides PASSIVE switching through gold contact relays. The passive switching means that the unit can route a signal in both directions (multiple sources to a single destination, or a single source to multiple destinations). Due to the passive nature of the switching, distortion and noise are almost non-existent and in no way change the quality of the signal it is switching. In addition to their normal use, the unit can also be used to switch digital signals, composite stereo audio, video and AES-3 signals.

The SS2.1 Switcher/Router is controlled by means of rear panel switches, and may be optionally controlled from a rear panel 9-pin male D-Sub connector or the multi-drop RS- 232 serial port. The SS2.1 Switcher/Router has features to allow selecting which of any source is active at power-up; last selected input; audio mute; allowing the user to turn off the audio output when activated and an multi-drop RS-232 serial port; allowing operation of up to eight units from one serial port. Source number one is configured to route audio to the output in the case of loss of power to the unit. The sources, which are not selected, are terminated with a 75 Ω load resistor.
